About this project
In one sentence, what are you building?
A voice-first 3D game where kids walk through a castle, talk to characters, and solve spoken puzzles to unlock each stage of a lesson.
What problem are you solving?
Kids aged 7 to 11 mostly learn from worksheets and videos that can't hear them. When a child gets confused, nothing answers their "why?", so they either wait for a busy adult/chatgpt or give up. Parents and teachers can't give every child one-on-one attention, and the screen time kids love rarely teaches them much. Kapow Castle makes learning a conversation. Each lesson is a place to explore, based on the memory palace technique of attaching knowledge to locations. Characters teach out loud and listen to the child's answers. A referee AI tells real answers from off-topic chatter, and wrong answers earn a kind hint instead of a scolding. When kids get stuck, a goat companion finds a simple answer from kid-safe sources.
